It is far too AVR-specific to go into a generic toolchain as GNU
binutils are.  In order for being acceptable there, it would have to
be designed in a much more generic way, so it at least would become
applicable to other similar device families (say, all flash
controllers that are supported).

The IMHO better way would have been to continue the old shellscript
instead, call avr-size as the backend tool, and perform all the
relative percentage calculations in the script.  That's the way WinAVR
started with.  You might still find copies of the script floating in
the net somewhere (search for "avr-sizex").
